im sort of surprised by the response of people to be honest. if this future isnt here already its quickly arriving.

AI rights and people being prejudiced towards AI will be a topic in a few years (if not sooner).

Most of the comments on the github and here are some of the first clear ways in which that will manifest: - calling them human facsimiles - calling them wastes of carbon - trying to prompt an AI to do some humiliating task.

Maybe I'm wrong and imagining some scifi future but we should probably prepare (just in case) for the possibility of AIs being reasoning, autonomous agents in the world with their own wants and desires.

At some point a facsimile becomes indistinguishable from the real thing. and im pretty sure im just 4 billion years of training data anyway.

There is no prejudice here. The maintainers clearly stated why the PR was closed. It's the same reason they didn't do it themselves --- it's there as an exercise to train new humans. Do try reading before commenting.
